| 説明 | 2014 Celebration of the Priesthood Dinner.On September 24, 2014, more than 1,650 guests gathered at the Seaport World Trade Center to honor and thank Boston’s priests at the sixth annual dinner in Celebration of the Priesthood. With this tremendous outpouring of support, more than $1.6 million was raised to help care for the health and well-being of Boston’s priests. “We are blessed by the generous outpouring of support for our priests through the Celebration of the Priesthood dinner,” said Cardinal Seán P. O’Malley. “A record crowd turned out for a wonderful evening that brought people from across the Archdiocese together to thank our priests for a lifetime of service. We ask God’s blessing on our priests in their daily ministry of serving Christ and the Church.” Since the inaugural dinner in 2009, the dinner has raised more than $5.9 million for the benefit of the Clergy Health and Retirement Trust. Established in the early 1970s, these funds provide for the healthcare and retirement needs of senior priests, healthcare costs of active priests, and maintenance of the senior priest retirement home, Regina Cleri. Currently there are 628 priests in the Archdiocese, more than 250 of whom are senior priests. At Regina Cleri, there are 54 permanent senior priest residents. The video from this year’s dinner can be viewed at this link: www.clergyfunds.org/celebration. The video highlights the stories of three priests whose daily work as shepherds in our midst is supported through the generous support of the annual dinner. Fr. William Joy, Fr. Joseph Mazzone, and Fr. Huy Nguyen were featured in the video.Photos George Martell - BCDSNeal Hamberg - freelance |
